I’ve always been fond of Terry. He’s never done me wrong.
My baby, loved her, she done me wrong
Stole my heart and killed my song
I forgave her, let her back in
She turned around and did it againIf I saw her, don’t know what I’d do
Can’t help what love has brought me to
I need help to get over this pain
If she comes back she’ll do it againThe day will come when it will end
I won’t fear my old girlfriend
I hope that day will come around
Before they put me in the groundMaybe I’ll leave my bones to science
Since I met her life makes no sense
To some poor soul I’ll do good
Hope that soul stays loveless like I shouldAsk my advice, I’ll tell you now
Don’t let love take your know-how
If you see a bad love at your door
Leave it shut like you were beforeLock the door, destroy the key
Turn off the phone Log off the PC
Cos bad love will steal your dance and your song
Life without them is just wrongMust get my slide guitar fixed 8) :lol: 8) :lol: 8) :lol: 8)

I am, however a minor English romantic pote, so here’s a pome 8) :lol: :
As Dover’s cliffs call to her lovers abroad
So the curves and wit of Kent fOBE signal her fame
Admirers and critics in chatroom and boards
Know of her and use and re-use her nameLike the woman of myth much more precious than rubies
Her talents and interests are broad and on show
We’ve heard of her love life, her family, her business
For much has been told, we are trusted to knowA keystone of JC’s large, vigorous community
She has carved a place in the forum 3 lore
So we toast ourselves fellow chatters with Kenty
And anticipate the chat and posts still in store@(f)politics? wrote:
The Monarchy far from costing us brings in alot of revenue to the country and personally i think its a good thing, long live the queen :D
I’m not convinced about this revenue business.
People come to see the palaces and ceremonies, a proportionately insignificant number of tourists actually see a member of the Royal Family. We’d have a head of state anyway, so there would be ceremonies and the palaces would be maintained as they are – museums and relics, republics do it all over the world.
A recent report from The English Tourist Board (I think) said that when there are major events – Royal Weddings, Olympic Games etc, – total tourism actually goes down that year because of a reduction before and after the event, the effect on other tourist attractions and the assumptions that transport and accommodation will be overloaded and more expensive.
The trade the Royals encourage by fostering international relations? Again the other leading global trading countries are republics and they seem to manage to sell stuff. Including the big ticket stuff like arms and construction that the royals promote.
Maybe a country that is willing to seriously debate alternatives, is actually stronger and more confident than a country that wants to stay in its comfort zone.
You don’t have to be a Royalist to be loyal to your country. Being a Monarchist doesn’t necessarily make you loyal to King/Queen or country (e.g. the Establishment figures who plotted to replace the Queen with Prince Philip, William and Mary being invited over in preference to the natural heir).
If we had an alternative system for head of state, the constitutional safeguards would still be in place to restrict the abuse of power. Would we end up with a Blair or Cameron? I doubt it, it’s as different a job as Prime Minister is from city Mayor – prime minister Boris Johnson anyone? (shudders).
Would we get a President Berlusconi? No. How do I know? Because Italy didn’t, their president is Giorgio Napolitano. In any case, enough of our potential and no doubt actual heads of state behave scandalously (and that’s just the stuff we know about) So we can hold our head high in a world of Prime Minister Berlusconis and President Clintons. Toss another Swan on the Barbie!!
P.S. If Sinn Fein, founded 1905, are dinosaurs, what does that make the heirs to William of Normandy, established 1066?

. . . .on boards you have all the time in the world to make a considered response . . . .
Only if you spend all the time in the world on the boards. If you just pop in now and again for a minute or two, then you only have a minute or two.

Bullying: an intention an/or a tendency to emotionally hurt someone, violate their dignity and/or control in an abusive fashion. It is usually repeated or sustained, but a single intimidating act can also be bullying.
Bullies use their power – real or imagined – from words, being part of an ‘in-group’ or physical power. Some people try to gain ‘in group’ power by aligning themselves with dominant personalities and so end up bullying.
People who are bullied can end up bullying others, including the persons who bullied them in the first place. It might feel justified but it reinforces an intimidating environment.
‘An eye for an eye makes everyone blind’ and all that.
Threatening words or behaviour, sarcasm, spreading libellous information, singling people out for attention or imposing yourself on someone are also used to bully.
I chat for fun and for a place, but I try very hard, and not always successfully, to chat in a way that reflects the kind of person I want to be. I have been singled out by bullies. I have been advised to ignore them, and I usually do but they persist so I oppose them if I can. I understand that one of them has made efforts to find ways into my private life.
I still use the chatroom of course, but I am much more guarded. It’s OK to say ‘trust no-one’ but all interaction involves trust.
The boards were a bit of a haven for a while, I could deal with the individual from the room who continued their efforts here, but others have made their own efforts and that didn’t last. I’m still here, but “here” is not as good.
Leave? Turn off? Off course I can, and I sometimes do. But if ‘decent folks’ are frightened off the ‘streets’ then that leaves ‘them’ running things and they frankly don’t deserve it.
This subject is very restrictive
I’m feeling hemmed in . . . . .
Eye-gouging? Disembowellment?
Do you mind? I’m eating!
